Walleye rods?

[kiefer06]

Are there any suggestions to a good semi cheap ($30-$100)walleye rod? G Loomis, Fenwick, St. Croix, etc. what do you like and why?

I'm sure you will get some chimes for St. Croixs and G. Loomis and they are great rods I have quite a few of them. But if I had to keep it under 100 bucks I would go for the Cabelas Fish Eagle line. They are very sensitive and have a good warranty (which is important to me because I am a rod breaker).

Another quality line of rods are the Rapala Rods. Not sure about the warranty but seem to be sensitive.

St Croix, Shimano and Fenwick are good rods at the 80-100 range. Gloomis rods are very good but can cost alot more. I use the Cabelas and Gander Moutain Guide Series rods and they have been great for only $30-$50.

I can offer you a couple of rods in that range. I prefer Fenwick and St. Croix rods and also have had good luck with Shimano Compre Rod's.

My first choice in that would be the St. Croix Premier rod that is about $80 to $90 depending on what model you get. I would suggest either a 6'6" or 7'0" medium light fast action rod. I would also look at the Fenwick HMG which may be at the high end of your price range as well as the HMX which is right in the middle of your price range.

If you can find a Limit Creek, check it out! A few baitshops near Stillwater & Hudson carry them...they're built for walleyes, they're super sensitive, and they're well under $100. I've used them a couple times on local guided walleye trips and have been very impressed!

I have both a Fenwick (6'6" med/light) and St. Croix (7'0" med/light) that I use for walleye fishing. At first I liked the Fenwick the best, but now prefer the St. Criox. I like the 7' length better and seems to handle larger fish better if you hook into one. The Fenwick is a bit more sensitive, you can feel the bottom much better.

Overall - either I think you would be happy with.
